The skeleton of Death comes for a quack doctor. The physician tends to a sick man in night clothes in his bedroom. But the figure of Death in a sheet grabs the doctor's collar. Der Arzt. Copperplate engraving drawn and etched by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki from a series of Dance of Death, originally published in the Lavenburg Calendar in 1792. Reprinted in Totentanz from the original copperplates by Walther Nithack-Stahn, Eigenbrodler Verlag, Berlin, 1926.
